Aussie apology...

I just heard that the Aussie contractor, who was kidnapped and held until he was freed by an Iraqi security force is safe and at home in San Francisco...

He made a statement where he apologized to PM John Howard and GWB for making statements against the Aussie and US government that were taped and distributed world wide..

He explained that he was under duress while the he comments were made.

No problems here, and am sorry he had to go thru something like that.

Thank god he is safe and at home.

A great story.

I thought the same thing, who of us wouldn't do the same to save our skins. It didn't get any one killed so what is the big deal?

He's actually visiting family in Melbourne at the moment. He seems quite a character, and mentally tough I would say.

Yep, escpecially when his wife was with him giving a press conference. I think his family has persuaded him not to go back, and will probably settle home in the states.

He lives less than ten miles from me so I suspect it will be quite a big deal when he comes home. I really feel for him and his poor wife..how helpless she must have felt. I'll be at the homecoming I'm sure!
